I am a career man, family man, and a full-time student all rolled into one. I currently work for the U.S. Department of Defense while continuing to further my education in pursuit of career advancement in military intelligence, of which career field I have worked in since 2004.

I served eight years of active duty in the U.S. Army from 1999 to 2007, and I am very proud of my service and of my country. I have been married to a beautiful, honest, and sweet woman for almost six years, and have a three-year-old son with another one on the way!

By the way, I am a huge pro wrestling fan… just in case you are unable to figure that out. Since the early 1980’s, I have dreamed of working in professional wrestling in some capacity. I slowly realized that dream, running the Missouri Wrestling Revival website covering Midwest independent pro wrestling until later working for St. Louis area High Voltage Wrestling Midwest in various capacities, including booking, video production, and marketing. I say that I have realized the dream, but in all honesty I have a long way to go. I am intelligent and have a strong work ethic, but I also have much to learn and room to grow. I’m not working for or running the largest pro wrestling organization on the planet, so I can’t boast too awful much.

My crowning achievement thus far was on November 14, 2009, when with the help of solid professional contacts and good friends, I put together my Missouri Wrestling Revival swan song. In Granite City, IL at the River’s Edge Reception Center, I gathered some of the best professional wrestlers in the Midwest into one event. I called the event “Pro Wrestling Showcase“, and learned more about the pro wrestling business with that one project than in all others combined.

So, here I am, humble and looking forward to sharing my journey with you. Enjoy the budding website and feel free to contact me if you ever want to talk about professional wrestling… or put me to work!
